Sonny Bill Williams makes winning NRL return

Sonny Bill Williams made his NRL return but James Tedesco was the star of the Sydney Roosters' 18-6 victory over the Raiders at Canberra Stadium.

In the most hyped NRL return in years, Williams played 14 minutes after being booed onto the field by Raiders supporters when he entered the field in the second half.

He was hit hard by Dunamis Lui on his first carry, but still managed to get an offload away for Luke Keary, and finished with four touches in the middle.

The dual international left the field with eight minutes to play in his first rugby league match since last turning out for Toronto Wolfpack in March.

In other results, the Wests Tigers beat Manly 34-32, and Gold Coast recorded a gritty 18-14 win over Canterbury.
